Why is this Russia stuff news? Russia has been interfering in American politics since 1917, and of course America has never forgiven Russia for going Commie in 1917. More to the point, the US interferes in other countries' politics routinely, usually of their allies!

"made without evidence"!!!!!!! If for godknowshowmanyyears you keep repeating that this man is "a threat to democracy", what more evidence of violent rhetoric do you need?

But but but...don't you see: once the clothes have been worn, they will be given to a charity store, so that some poor pensioner this winter can put on a few extra layers at very small cost. Win win all round......

Yes, the very notion of "protest" has been eroded hideously over the last few decades. No matter what the authority is, it's not your job to question it.

But what ARE the "root problems of overcrowding". It's got nothing to do with which political party is in power, because both major parties in the UK feed from the same trough. Rather, these figures for incarceration (and worse figures in the US) show a country that has lost its way, is on the wrong track, from a multiplicity of causes. Partly it is to do with the technological societies constructed in the last three decades. Now it seems that solutions to problems can simply be googled and fixed with the stroke of a web key. The notion that school children can be taught the basics of simple reasoning skills is now out the window. It is even possible to say, with a straight face, that 2 plus 2 does not necessarily add up to 4. Your own truth is what matters. Welcome to the narcissistic world of Megan Markle Mrs Harris, Mr Trump and their like.....

Does it help to be endorsed by a felon?

I believe Trump is 78? I wonder how many participating in this thread are roughly that age. I have a lot of experience of public speaking and am in that age group, but I have to confess that doing what Trump does day after day would be well beyond me (even though I am in reasonably good shape). I look at news clips of Trump as he sweats through all these rallies in states where the temperatures are violently high, and I suspect that he is barely hanging in there. If he makes it to Nov 5 without a serious health setback, he will have gone some way to allaying ideas that some have regarding his physical fitness for high office. As for the debate, it was clear that while Trump rambled all over the place, he was at least a fallible human being, while the Harris woman is an empty vessel spouting "lines" that have been fed into her from the Democrat machine.

One thing emerged tonight and that is that neither of these candidates would have the faintest idea how to deal with the massive financial crisis that lies just around the corner. Make sure your cash and investments are as well protected as possible.

Yes, the differences are "stark" - only 30% of Americans think the country is on the right track. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/08/us/politics/trump-and-harris-times-siena-poll.html

Her previous position (like all of them) is not as shameless as this gobble-de-gook answer from some campaign hack. In what country that speaks the English language could the "governance" of the last 3 years be called "effective"?????

Tug is one of Mrs Clinton's true 'deplorables'....and deserves not one moment of anyone's attention....

AI at work again here! Only a machine could have written that sentence without any sense of irony. Psaki is just one (but perhaps the most prominent) media puppet who lied both to herself and the American people about the state of Biden's mind these last four years.......

So, who in fact "officially classified" the party as extremist? Who sets the standard? Who decides who is "right-wing extremist"? If you think this question does not need answering, you have answered the supposed theme of the article: why are so many in Eastern Germany turning to the right?

The little fatty is obviously profiting from all her protest earnings. Pity she got arrested and thus gave her what she craves: publicity.

Ok, I'm gullible: which is your home country? (And why be shy about revealing it without my having to ask you?) I've never been able to understand why, on these threads, so many people are afraid to reveal where the f they come from!!!!!!!!!

Just like Willie Clinton, then? But at least Trump's wife is beautiful, whereas Mrs Clinton is not exactly pulchritudinous....

You should keep up. Kemp and Trump have kissed and made up.... God knows why, but that's the way of the world..

It must be her fake Southern accent that's making all the difference in Georgia. Pretty soon, she'll be offering us a French Canadian accent, and, with a bit of luck an Indian accent in the manner of Peter Sellers.

How clever of you....

I quake in my Nikes as I contemplate losing your "respect". But I do respect your right to hold the moronic opinion that mentioning the truth is an act of "mudslinging."

Had a good laugh over this nonsense. I find it difficult to conceive of her relationship with Willy Brown as an instance of "working oneself up"!!!!

Many of us, who have lived long enough, probably yearn for the days when politicians, while contemptible in some ways, at least seemed to be guided by deep principles, whether you agreed with them or not. Think of Golda Meir, Indira Ghandi, Margaret Thatcher, Nelson Mandela, Kwame Nkrumah, Churchill...we can all add to the list. But how embarrassingly those names indicate our present impoverishment in the world of politics.

In his own country, a "stern warning" would involve a hundred lashes to his rear end.... or worse.
